Splurge Day?

Today was a "splurge" day. Well, I guess you'd call it that. I kept my food in check, but this evening I splurged on left over Easter candy that had been hidden away. The sad thing is that I feel terrible about it. I don't get it. I've been avoiding even intentional splurging so that I can stay focused on eating better, and quite frankly I almost feel sick to my stomach for all of the starbursts and mini kit-kats. Sigh.

Does everyone feel "icky" after splurging? It's not like I had a ton of it or anything. And I know I need to splurge every now and again, I just don't understand what's going on mentally with me...you know? It's like I'm punishing myself mentally? I don't know, I just wish my tummy felt better... :/

Another Award!

I'm super excited and humbled by my second award.

The Rules:

Thank the person who gave you the award with a link to their blog.

Tell us 10 things about yourself.

Nominate other bloggers and let them know about the award.

Thank you so much to Faith at I'm Too Sexy For This Fat.

The Nitty Gritty:
1. I've been married for almost four years and we have two children, born 13 months and two days apart from each other, the first of which was conceived seven months after marriage.

2. I'm a country girl by heart but am surviving in "the city."

3. I'm seemily more and more accident prone. Not sure if it's age thing or what?

4. I'm a frog-o-holic. I have way too many frogs and a lot of them have had to be boxed up since having children. But I have one that is near and dear to me, tattooed on my backside.

5. I'm a chocoholic. Now days I'm more of a recovering chocoholic, as long as it isn't in the house I'm fine. I seemed to have been able to find that fine line between needing to eat it all the minute a package is opened, and eating only a small portion.

6. I'm nicknamed "Crafty B*tch" by several close friends. I have a nack for crafty stuff...keeps my hands busy and food out of my mouth.

7. I'm addicted to photography. I'm learning with each new picture I take and getting more and more comfortable shooting manual.
8. I'm still 80% uncomfortable in my own skin. You won't see me in a public pool in a swimsuit anytime soon.
9. No matter how hard I try, I can NEVER seem to keep all the toys picked up. Two against one is a losing battle. :/
10. I love biking with my husband. I haven't been on a trail since before we conceived Baby Girl. I'm looking forward to our first 14 mile ride around the lake...just not sure when we can coordinate it with two different schedules going on.

Just shy...

Tonight I was just shy of 3 miles for our walk. :( But, the good news is, I'm thinking I know a few more streets to throw in that will get me to the 3 mile goal. So that will be what I aim for on my next walk. I probably would have given it a try tonight but I stopped for a second and realized my socks dropped down allowing a blister to form on both heels. Oops.

But I feel better about inching towards a three mile walk. One day I might like to do a 5 mile walk, but baby steps I suppose. Pushing two kids, being overweight, and sweating my butt off is satisfying enough for now.

Weigh Me Wednesday

I was really really pumped to hop on the scale this morning after all the walking I've been doing. Food has been decent, and sleep has improved. So this is not what I was looking forward to though...

Suh-weet

Bring on the scale ladies & gents...bring on the scale! What day am I on? Five? Six? I dunno, but I'm still getting off my hiney and taking the kids for an hour walk and it feels AH-MAZING! Now to get my sweaty hiney in the shower!

ETA: I've added a daily mile widget...awesomeness. I had NO CLUE that the route I generally take it over 2 miles long. Not too shabby, eh? See ya in the morning.

Step Into Summer {Week 3 of 10}

Let's just get down to it, shall we? Last week to recap:

Wahoo!!!

Yes, this creepy baby was made by me and apart of the baby shower games.

I've been a rather busy gal. Baby showers, grocery shopping, and WALKING!!!! Four days in a row now I've gotten out of the house to do some form of walking, and let me tell you pushing two kids in stroller for an hour in 90 degree heat will help aid you in burning some calories, and smelling funky.

Now I'm taking a few minutes to edit the pics I took at my SIL's baby shower today. See ya'll in the morning with my Fitblogger challenge update.
